I'm sure Sam, when he was growing up, at the very least *wanted* to celebrate his birthday - it would have been the *normal* thing to do, and Sam wanted normal. And I'm still thinking this party we see going on in tonight's episode is for Sam's birthday, so we will be able to see what a *normal* birthday would have been for him.
As I said back on Dean's birthday, as far as John is concerned, I fluctuate between (1) thinking he didn't commemorate any birthdays/holidays with the boys and (2) thinking that that might have been the one piece of normality he preserved for his children, and I lean more toward option 2. Now I don't picture them hitting Chuckie Cheese's or anything like that, but there would be some sort of little celebration. I think John would know that's what Mary would have wanted. Say what you want about John and his parenting skills (and believe me, I have), he did love his sons, so I think he would at the very least remember their birthdays. Maybe the comic books will tell us. By the way, at cwtv, they have an announcement for SPN: Origins on the front page with a blurb that says there's going to be an on-air interview with Kripke during SPN tonight! Long live Kripke!
Dean? Again as I said before, Dean would always remember Sammy's birthday. I bet he made each one special in some way when they were growing up, with or without Dad. I just know it. He's not an awesome brother for nothing.

So Happy Birthday, Sam!
